Approximately two minutes after downloading Google Maps, I was sold. Let me tell you why.
Two weeks ago while on the way to a wedding, I was directed by Apple’s attempt at mapping my country to a parking lot in a small town, instead of a pleasant guest house B&B in a farming community 15km outside of this little...

The finished code has also been shipped, or will begin to ship, to Microsoft’s OEM partners. Tablet and PC makers external from Microsoft can now begin to load the finished code onto its devices. Highly exciting times.
